Dat Damascus. I wouldn't carry it though. to scared to lose/damage it.

I keep entertaining the idea of a wood handled knife. Looking at the SOG Twitch

A real man doesnt need a pocketknife. You're just a fuccboi

twitch is alright, but itll be heavier, and weaker assuring it doesn't have a liner. if it does, than its heavier yet.

I never need a knife in my daily life, and neither do most people in the 21st century.

Just fucking admit you're an autistic neckbeard carrying a knife around for cool factor and nothing else.

>>6921366
does that lock

lol, i carried a pocketknife for like 2 months until I realized that I had used it like once the entire time. what the fuck do you guys do that you need pocketknives?

heres a quick and easy way to figure out if someone is a real man or not

if they ever say the words real man then they are not in fact, a real man

>>6921399
It's a pocket knife. Folding pocket knives are no more a "weapon" than kitchen knives. Just one use is for cutting into packaging that can't easily be opened.

I personally use a small multitool, but it applies the same to a regular pocket knife.

>>6921402
there's no actual locking mechanism but it requires enough pressure to open that it doesn't really matter. Doesn't have a smooth opening, but personally I prefer it that way. It's a tool, not a weapon. And like any proper tool (especially potentially), it's meant to be taken out with care, not speed.

>>6921429
Does it lock when it's open I mean? So that it doesn't shut on your fingers if you're stupid enough to put them between the blade and handle

is this too much?

This is you, OP.

>>6921438
oh, no. no locking mechanism either side other than friction. It's extremely simple, nothing more than the case, hinge and blade. I don't know how stupid you'd have to be to have your hand over the inner case and putting substantial force against the top of the blade though. Can't think of any scenario, except those caused by extreme carelessness, where you'd want to put pressure on the blunt side if you're not closing the knife. The lack of any external safety mechanisms hasn't posed any kind of threat to me in the 3 months I've had it.

>>6921442
yes

Can't beat the classic

>>6921473
but won't the blade brake when i'm stabbing someone?

No you fuck off faggot. If you don't like the thread fuck off.

Also pic related most of the time. Sometimes ill switch it up with different colored stuff.

>>6921327
Its a useful tool you idiot.

>>6921399
Well you know what? Not everyone is you. Some people aren't stupid bitches that don't have a reason to use a knife once in a while.

>>6921515

tell me the reasons why you need a knife in your daily life you flaming faggot.

Because you're such a weak bitch you can't tear open packages with your own hands?

>>>/k/

> people actually hating on a pocket knife

Tons of practical use for them, and in the very slim chance you ever absolutely HAD to stab someone you'd look pretty damn foolish with nothing to stab them with.

>>6921153
Shit. That looks great.

>>6921531

You will never HAVE to stab somebody, because by the time you're in that sort of situation you'll have a knife pressed against your chest or throat. It's fucking ridiculous to think you'll have the time to reach into your pockets.

>>6921518
Clean out my pipe, open letters, open boxes, occasional cutting of cord. Daily life uses. Now what faggot. Why so butt hurt about people carrying tools with them?

Apparently there's something about carrying a knife that makes you very offended when people ask if you really need to carry a knife.

>>6921539
I can do all those things without a fucking pocket knife.

Do you carry a katana too?

>>6921538
Some dumb fuckers around here, about 3 of them, thought it would be fun to beat up and mug one guy, the guy had a knife and stabbed all three, one died. Whelp. I don't carry a knife since I don't really make a habit of walking at night, or in bad neighborhoods.

>>6921553

Laguiole's are so fucking legit

My restaurant has them as the steak knives. Very expensive though

>>6921547
So could I, but having a knife makes it easier. Man evolved to making and using tools for a reason.

Do you carry a dildo around with all that self righteousness?

I carry out the smallest swiss army knife. My most commonly used tools on it are the tweezers and nail file *hairflip*

>>6921499
/k/ here. Kershaw makes solid shit for an everyday knock around knife.

>>6921688
Yeah that's what I usually carry. Reliable and relatively cheap.

It really comes down to situational awareness and training. backing away from a perceived threat while drawing creates distance and time, both of which are your friend. Thats not to say guns make you unbeatable, sometimes you may just get fucked.

>>6921721
it shows that even if you carry a knife someone can stab you before you take it out of your pocket you dumb fuck

>>6921740

>>6921442
Maybe, I used to have a 12" smith & wesson bayonet on me at all times, sometimes hanging off my belt and others tucked into my jeans, but I lived in a small town at the time and the situation I was in required some protection.

Now I always have a folding partially serrated pocket knife in my pocket, with seatbelt cutter/point break windows if trapped in a car. I'm not very trusting of people, nor should I be. Ausfag btw.

I use it for odd jobs for my work now and again.

I have a box of knives inherited from grandad that i'll take 1 or 2 camping when I go camping for kicks.

Anyone who carries a knive in their pocket daily is just going to be considered a retard / psychopath this day in age.

I love my Sage1. It's light weight, sits low so no one knows I even have it, and it looks pretty! The blade is also 3 inches so it's legal in every county I could possibly enter in California. The full flat ground blade makes it AMAZING for slicing food. The only "down side" is that it looks rather intimidating when it's unfolded and may warrant unwanted attention if pulled out in public. On the "up side", it looks intimidating in case you need to pull it out on some jackass at 2 in the morning.

I usually carry a butterfly knife with me. Useful for cutting shit AND try hard as fuck. Eat it.

If you open a lot of packages, I would suggest a box cutter. It's what they're for. Cardboard and tape are one of the best ways to wreck an edge.

this whole thread is retarded anyway.
if you need a knife, carry a knife. just make sure it looks good and isnt overkill for the shit you need it for.

if you need to trim your nails, use a flashlight, unscrew some shit, use the tiny saw on a twig that is in your way, open a bottle of wine and then open a beer, carry a multitool. you faggot.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ, so much butthurt from everybody for no reason at all. This is like getting upset because someone does/does not wear a watch.

>hurr you don't ever need one ever for anything ever in you whole life ever ever never ever
Sure, it's not a 100% necessity, but I find them extremely handy myself. I work with my hands so I do use mine frequently, but not everybody needs one, no.

>hurr it's the single most useful tool in existence and also doubles as the single most effective self-defense tool ever
Fuck off people, it's a handy tool, nothing more. Use it if you like it and shut the fuck up about it.

Anyway, the reason I opened this thread was to put in my two cents about a good EDC pocket knife. I carry around a Gerber 06 F.A.ST.(yeah yeah I know, Gerber) but this blade turned out extremely durable and useful. I've beaten the piss out of it for the past year and it's still great. 9/10 would recommend.

not sure if hes still around but chloefiend had a pretty nice knife anyone know what kind it was?

>>6921499
Jesus, I would probably end up stabbing myself with that.

w2c good knives in Australia

I see a couple in hardware stores and so on but nothing that looks like it could actually do any damage if you needed to

I carry a leatherman wave because I actually use it for my bike on which i need a hex screw to lower and heighten the seat depending on if I'm using it for transit or if I'm jumping off of stairs. I also use it at work to cut open boxes and I want to get as many cool fades into my raws as possible. Plus if I were just being faggot to carry it around just for weapon use, a knife can get you into shit with cops here while you can have an excuse for a multi-tool.

I carry an opinel.
I use it atleast 3-4 times a week.
Using in this train of thought
>Fuck i wish i had something to cu- i do have something to cut this with!
Boxes, packages, letters, sausage, cheese, bread, string, cleaning from under my nails, cutting my apples, at work, the occasional "Anyone got a knife?"
For everyone who doesn't, do you just muscle open packages or awkwardly hold scissors like a knife? What about when something needs to be cut?
I guess if you don't live a very active lifestyle, or happen to borrow someone else's cutting tool, you're fine.
I've also got a safety knife in my car, in case I ever get into an accident, I am prepared to cut myself out of the car, and break glass, if need be. Rather have it and not need it, than not have it and need it. Same reason I carry an advanced first aid kit in my car, and a few basic first aid things with me.
Not all of us live in cushy cities i guess.

its called a friction folder. your thumb/finger stands over the back end of the knife where the small bar protrudes. that and tight scales keep i from closing on your fingers. though i wouldnt stab with it.

anyone who carries a real pocket knife around is absolutely retarded.

A swiss army knife can do everything a knife can do + it has hand little tweezers, a screwdriver, bottle opener, ect, and it's not something perceive as a weapon.

I carry a pocket knife with me, however I'll freely acknowledge that there is almost no occasion to actually use it. Even though there are situations in which I COULD use it, there are almost always other tools available that can do the job better.

>>6924860
Its pretty easy to avoid cutting/stabbing your self, just make sure when you are cutting something the blade is pointed away from you. Also avoid fucking around with your knife doing stupid shit, like opening and closing it for no reason that will also decrease the possibility of that. I know from experience when I was younger.

Why does everyone get so butthurt about people carrying something to defend themselves?

I don't personally carry one but I'm a small guy and I've been mugged twice and couldn't do shit about it. I don't live in a particularly bad area but you people act like the world's not a generally shitty and occasionally dangerous place.

Some people just aren't equipped to deal with fuckers with their fists. If they get attacked are they just supposed to take it? Because calling the cops or calling for help doesn't do shit. I called the cops both times and first time they came an hour later and second they said there's no point in even coming so they didn't. And the first time I was mugged it was by a giant black guy in the subway during the day and nobody did shit. I don't blame them but you can't rely on anyone to help you.
